distinctly-connected
|dis-tinct-ly-con-nect-ed|
/dɪˈstɪŋktli kəˈnɛktɪd/
clearly linked
Etymology
'distinctly-connected' originates from the combination of 'distinctly' and 'connected', where 'distinctly' comes from Latin 'distinctus', meaning 'separated' and 'connected' from Latin 'connectere', meaning 'to bind together'.
'distinctly' evolved from the Latin 'distinctus' through Old French 'distinct', while 'connected' evolved from Latin 'connectere' through Middle English 'connecten'.
Initially, 'distinctly' meant 'separated' and 'connected' meant 'to bind together', but over time, the combination evolved to mean 'clearly linked'.
